IT/Systems Engineer for EDS at the GM Shreveport Assembly Plant. The team I'm on runs the paint shop systems so that all the Colorados/Canyons get painted. Also, yes I love my job.
WOW...there's a lot of "tech jobs" people around here. Guess that's why we can afford all our Axiom gear. *wink*

I sell semiconductors for the Western US, specializing in CPU controllers (yeah, like northbridge/southbridge) and serial ATA (hard disk) controllers. Not thrilling, but it pays the bills and business is picking up.

I'm in I.T. and my official title (which is very inaccurate) is "Network Engineer." My job responsibilities are similar to Ken's (kcarlile) in that I'm a tech-jack-of-all-trades, but I don't do nearly as much driving as he does.
I've got my hands in everything: routing/switching, telephony, disaster recovery, network backups, windows patch management (ick!), remote administration, desktop and server computer configuration/deployment, web development, light programming, Windows/Mac/*NIX, etc...
I do get to travel a few times a year to work in major cities around the country. I've been to our offices in Seattle, San Francisco, Berkeley (where I work), Los Angeles, Pasadena, San Diego, Salt Lake City, Dallas, Houston, St. Louis, Chicago, Ann Arbor, Boston, New Haven, New York, and ummm.. I think that's it. 
Oh, and here's a couple "views" I have from my desk:

I work in digital post production for IMAX. I work in sunny Santa Monica, CA.
Currently prepping for the new Harry Potter movie. Next in the queue for the IMAX treatment will be Catwoman. I'm going to be a very busy guy for the next several months!

Curtis,
I work for a Mississippi based residential furniture manufacturer, and we also make home theater seating. I'm not sure that I should use the company name on this forum, but it is a name brand...pm me if you would like more info.

I work with Formula 1 teams to specify and build test equipment for aerodynamic, chassis and powertrain performance testing. Great job, but lot's of sitting on aeroplanes (125,000 flight miles last year!!)

I am responsible for the contract terms and conditions and templates we use (VERY large copier company in recovery) with our Major Account Customers and the negotiation process (through my staff) that is required to close the deals.
My plan is to BECOME a retired guy like Jack and Ford shortly and take care of my golf game.
